THE LAST TWO standing in the All-Ireland hurling race and it’s a familiar duo.
For the fifth time this decade Kilkenny and Tipperary will contest the final game to settle the issue of where the Liam MacCarthy Cup will reside this winter.
Throw in the replay that was required five years ago and this is the sixth All-Ireland final this decade between the Cats and the Premier. Kilkenny won out in 2011 and 2014, Tipperary triumphed in 2010 and 2016 while there was also a semi-final win for Kilkenny in 2012 and a qualifier victory for them in Nowlan Park in 2013.
So there’s a lot of familiarity between this pair with managers Brian Cody and Liam Sheedy back facing off on the sideline for the first time in nine years.
